If you think about it, things were always going to be this way for the 2019 Missouri Tigers.
No matter how these first three games ended up, Missouri fans were never going to know quite what they were seeing until Week Four.
3-0? “The schedule’s too soft.”
2-1? “It could be a fluke loss.”
1-2? “There’s clearly trouble, but the talent is so enticing!”
0-3? (Eh, OK, maybe this is where it falls apart)
Obviously, the Tigers have chosen to trod the middle path thus far. The thirstiest Kool-Aid drinkers will point to thorough dismantlings of both a highly-ranked FCS team and a Power-5 program (albeit a rebuilding one) as proof that this Tiger team is special; they just needed to get the jitters out!
